Chapter 159 Don’t stop doing one thing and two things
Chapter 159 If you don’t do it, you won’t stop.
Ling Shu counted the days and found that there were still seven days left to ship the goods. He rushed north day and night, which was enough time.
Now that Jiulongtang has his people in charge, it will not be difficult to open the door.
Then there is only one thing.
"It's time for the customs clearance letter to arrive..."
Ling Shu was deep in thought, but felt that the pressure on his shoulders had dropped dramatically.
Cao Lei has been missing for a day and a night, and the silence around Huaihua Village has returned.
Chen Ping found the help of the three hall masters and walked along the edge of the dense forest to search for clues, and finally stopped in front of a mountain road.
He squatted under the tree, digging away the weeds on the ground, frowning.
"The grass blades and stems are stained red, there is blood here."
"The second child was besieged, and the bodies of several brothers around him were found here."
The Third Hall Master walked around here several times, so Cao Lei clearly remembered the route he passed that day.
Chen Ping sighed, stood up, looked at the mountain road in front of him, and asked, "Where is this place ahead?"
"The official road out of Qianzhou is the road we used to transport goods."
"The official road...that's also the direction within Tongcheng, right?"
The third hall master was a little confused about Chen Ping's question and couldn't help but ask: "Master Chen, have you discovered something?"
Chen Ping shook his head. Although he had a guess in his mind, he was not sure.
"It's okay," he turned around and walked out, then asked, "How strong is Hall Master Cao?"
"Very strong! Don't look at the fact that our boss is old, but if I were to face him, I might not be able to make more than ten moves!"
The third hall master said so swornly, but the real situation is that since the death of his son, Cao Lei's health has gotten worse and worse, and they haven't had a chance to fight for many years.
"That night, Hall Master Cao brought ten or twenty people with him. No matter how weak his strength was, he should not have disappeared without a trace."
Based on Cao Lei's veteran experience, if he encounters any clues, he should send someone back to report the news.
What puzzled Chen Ping the most was that Cao Lei originally went to rescue the Second Hall Master, but when the Second Hall Master came back, he disappeared, and the Second Hall Master did not find any trace of him.
What happened to Cao Lei and his group was so strange.
The third hall master couldn't figure this out, and shouted anxiously: "I think, why don't we just call everyone, turn this place over, and find the boss!"
He has always acted like this, simple, rough and direct.
But Chen Ping immediately interrupted: "No, none of the people who guarded the main road before can move!"
"Why?" The third hall master was puzzled.
Chen Ping stopped and glanced at the official road not far away.
"This group of people suddenly targeted Hall Master Cao, most likely because Jiulong Hall blocked their way. If they give way, it will be of no use to the enemy! I'm afraid Hall Master Cao will be in trouble...
...."
A hostage that is useless will only end up with a vote.
"This... what should I do?" The third hall master immediately lost his temper and his expression became ugly.
Chen Ping was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "If the other party must kill someone, then if you give way, wouldn't it make it easier for the murderer to escape?"
After all, now that Cao Lei is missing, the most important thing is to find someone, but looking for someone randomly is harmful and unprofitable.
Those open and hidden stakes on various roads are the most suitable stalkers.
However, these are the internal affairs of Jiulong Hall after all, and Chen Ping doesn't interfere too much. He just expressed his analysis and concerns.
The two searched for a long time, but found no useful clues.
Chen Ping decided to return to Zhuyuan to wait for Zhao Jin to see if he had returned and if there was any news.
The third hall master ran directly back to Liujiazhuang. He had just passed the corridor when he heard the fourth hall master say inside.
"The safety of the boss is the most important thing. Find him first, then talk about other things!"
The Fifth Hall Master said: "I think it's better to go find Ling Shu directly! Hasn't the boss been targeting him during this time? It's probably this kid who is causing trouble."
"I've sent people to keep an eye on him, but he hasn't done anything unusual. In my opinion, it's better to just call everyone back and look through..."
Before the second hall master finished speaking, the third hall master rushed in.
"No, no, no! Second child, you can't molest someone!"
Several people turned around in astonishment, and the second hall master asked in surprise: "Why can't you transfer people? Third child."
"It's not good for the boss's safety to transfer people now!"
The three hall masters hurriedly recounted Chen Ping's words, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavier.
"I think Mr. Chen is right. What the boss gave was a fatal order. We should be more cautious," said the Fifth Hall Master.
"Indeed, we can also find other people to help. Those on the road can't move..." The fourth hall leader also agreed.
Seeing that the three of them had the same opinion, the Second Hall Master couldn't say any more, so he could only nod in agreement.
It was night, Ling Shu hurriedly went to the city wall.
The actions of Jiulongtang in the past two days have been quite big, and the soldiers on the city are aware of it and are talking about it.
Next to the carriage, the tall figure of the man almost blocked all the moonlight.
"It wasn't you who did it, was it?" Tang Hao chuckled, "Boss Ling is really awesome and generous."
"Stop talking nonsense to me," Ling Shu said, although he was a little proud, but his voice was cold, "Have you not finished the customs clearance letter yet?"
Tang Hao shrugged, looking a little careless, and raised his eyebrows.
"Why are you so anxious? Looking at my expression, couldn't you guess that today is a double happiness?"
As he spoke, he took out a customs clearance letter with an official seal from his sleeve, which was clearly visible against the moonlight.
The stern look on Ling Shu's brow softened, and he immediately reached out to take the thing. He looked at it carefully but frowned, "Why is it only for a dozen cars?"
"A dozen cars will be good. The management is very strict now, and I will send you the rest in a few days. This way, it will be divided into batches so that it will not attract too much attention."
Ling Shu was silent for a moment, then said: "Then you should do it as soon as possible."
"It's just for the past two days, don't worry." Tang Hao said this, and the topic changed, "Have you confirmed it at Jiulong Hall?"
"Since I dare to take action, I will naturally find a way to make them give way."
Ling Shu carefully put away the customs clearance letter, looking confident.
Tang Hao glanced at him meaningfully, "There are people from you in Jiulong Hall. Will you introduce them to me next time?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Ling Shu waved his hand perfunctorily, put down the carriage curtain and left.
He still has to go back and make preparations, asking others to sort the goods overnight, and then he can sleep peacefully after all the goods have been transported.
Early the next morning, Ling Shu excitedly made an appointment with the second hall master.
The place where they met was in an abandoned house in Wushipo.
"The goods and customs clearance documents have been prepared. You will have people evacuate today." Ling Shu said excitedly.
The second hall master glanced at him awkwardly, lowered his head and said: "This matter...I'm afraid it won't work."
"What do you mean?" Ling Shu's voice turned cold.
The second hall master explained helplessly, "Lao San and the others listened to Chen Ping's words and still want to block the road."
Ling Shu was so angry that his eyelids were twitching wildly. Everything came to light, and the little brat Chen Ping jumped out to cause trouble again.
"Chen Ping is just an outsider, why do you care so much about him?"
"But Cao Lei has just disappeared. Isn't it too obvious that I have to give way now?" The second hall master said.
Ling Shu's face was gloomy, "So what? I asked you to take charge of Jiulong Hall, not to give me troubles."
"Boss Ling, don't forget, even if Chen Ping is weak alone, the He family has plenty of manpower! Moreover, what happened the night before yesterday was not trivial. Even Lu Wei was paying attention to it, and they also have some friendship!"<
/p>
The second hall master knew that the matter was urgent, but he was unwilling to take this risk.
"If there is no evidence to prove anything, who can do anything to you?" Ling Shu said in anger.
"I'm afraid they will find the evidence soon." The second hall master murmured.
"What do you mean?" Ling Shu was surprised.
"Think about it, why would Chen Ping mention this? Isn't it because he is also looking for Cao Lei's whereabouts! This kid has some brains. He asked the third child to continue blocking the road just to make us helpless."
"Useless trash!" Ling Shu was furious after hearing this, "Cao Lei is gone, how can you still be held back by a little kid!"
The Second Hall Master's eyelids twitched slightly, but he held on without saying a word.
"I can't wait any longer! If we wait any longer, we have to finish playing!" Ling Shu walked back and forth a few times and said harshly.
"If you don't do it, I'll get rid of this kid too!"
